MH370 'crash site' SURROUNDED by 'illegal armed loggers high on METH'

Ian Wilson and brother Jack began trekking through mountainous terrain this week to get to a zone they claim they've spotted MH370 on Google Maps.

But they've been warned the area between Chrok La Eang Waterfalls and the spot could be rife with danger.

An expat, who did not wish to be named, warned the area is prone to illegal logging.

He added the drug methamphetamine is commonly used and that loggers are likely to be armed with knives, we can reveal.

And what's more, they may view adventurers as a threat if they notice recording equipment.

In emails seen by Daily Star Online, he tells Wilson: "The real danger you have is not so much the terrain, but the illegal loggers who are operating in the area and would not be pleased to see white guys wandering around with recording equipment.

“I don't want you to get into a potentially dangerous situation, either in the jungle or with these guys (who are mostly on mephamphetamine to keep them awake, and armed with big knives, at the very least)”

"I don't want you to get into a potentially dangerous situation, either in the jungle or with these guys (who are mostly on mephamphetamine to keep them awake, and armed with big knives, at the very least.)."

Methamphetamine is an extremely powerful Class A drug, known for its hugely addictive potency.

The crystal form, known as Crystal Meth, was thrust into the public limelight by hit show Breaking Bad.

Wilson and Jack arrived in Cambodia on Tuesday and they set off from Chrok La Eang in the early hours of Friday morning.

Daily Star Online understands the sighting is a plane captured in flight by Google Maps satellites.

But there have been multiple theories since Wilson first went public with his sighting to this website.

There have been suggestions it could be an old war plane from the Vietnam war, however the Aviation Safety Network (ASN) told us it does not fit the profile of any historic crashes.

Aviation expert Jeff Wise and ASN believe it is a plane snapped in flight, although this has been dismissed by private investigator Andre Milne.

A Chinese satellite company – Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co Ltd – visited the site said they didn't find the plane, but that it needed a "professional search team on the ground to lay the claim to rest".
